 Submit your exam including this cover page and the solutions of the following problems.

Q1: (20 marks):

a. The latest heat of fusion of a material is 6 kJ/mole and the heat capacity (Cp) in solid and liquid phases
of the material is a linear function of temperature Cp = 30.6 + 0.0103T, with units J/mole/K. How much
heat is required to increase the temperature of 1 mole of the material from 200C to 2000C if the fusion
phase transition occurs at 800C?
b. Show that for a monatomic ideal gas undergoing an adiabatic process, PV5/3 = constant.

Q2 (20 marks): A water with mass m = 0.5 kg, specific heat capacity c = 4,187 J/kg.K, and initial temperature
T1 = 250 K is supplied a heat until its temperature rises to T2 = 500C. Calculate the change in entropy of the
water?

Q3 (20 marks):
a. Heat Q = 3,000 J is added to a monatomic ideal gasunder conditions of constant volume, resultingin a
temperature change ∆ T . How much heat will be required to produce the same temperature change, if it
is added under conditions of constant pressure?
b. A balloon will carry a total load of 175 kg when the temperature is of 273 K and pressure is of 76 cm of
mercury. What load will the balloon carry on rising to a height at which the barometric pressure is 50
cm of mercury and the temperature is −100C, assuming the envelope maintains a constant volume?

Q5 (20 marks): Figure 1 shows the P-V diagram of one mole of an ideal gas, undergoing the reversible cycle
ABCA; here, the procedure AB is an isotherm. The molar heat capacities are CP at constant pressure and CV at
constant volume.

a) Prove that the net heat added to the gas during the cycle is Q ABCA =R T h ln ( )
